Inside the large prison Complex on Waste of space 4

'How many are there of these... creatures?'
'21 million'
'21 MILLION!!!! what are we going to do with them all... they can't stay here for the rest of their lives...'

'Sir, incoming message form HQ!'
'Let's here it!'

'Grand Admiral Stevens, you are ordered to load up the alien prisoners of war into transports. A new home is being constructed inside our own space so some of there race survives the current war... when you have finished, contact us, and you shall receive new orders. HQ out! '

'Do it!'
'Yes sir. We should have it done in about 5 hours!'

LOL... would this happen to be the Hyacombe survivors?

"21 million prisoners...Thats alot. Tech get ahold of Moleland HQ. I have a Question for them." said the Capt. Transs

OOC: TIN, yes it would

HOB: Sorry, you ahve to be a neighbour of mine to take part... hard luck

ooc: I am a neighbour but what do i border? :P

OOC: To my knowledge, it is the waste of space system ;)

IC: 5 hours later

'That was the last of them!'
'HQ, this is Stevens. We have loaded up them up!'

'Ok, now we are about to send you the co-ordinates to the new homeworld we have just constructed.'

The Grand Admiral read the co-ordinates, 'But that's Bath 3?!'

'Correct. We have constructed a biosphere that provides it's own power, and we will provide them with food and other supplies. It can home 30 million people, so as long as the population stays below this, they will be fine. Explain this to them. HQ out.'

The Grand Admiral informed the crew of each Transport, and the Hyacombe civilians were angry, butresigned to their fate of life on the popular planet of Bath 3.

The Ships entered hyperspace, on course for the Bath System, with a light escort of 2 frigates, an interdictor and a MCD.

OOC: Planning to dump them eh? Cool.

OCC: Kinda...feel free to join in neighbours!

IC: Shortly afterwards, 100's of transports arrived outside Bath 3. A large complex was seen on the sufrace of this polar world... Survival outside of this impossible!

Onboard one of the transports

'How can you abandon us to a fate on this planet. We only want homes and...' began one of the civilians
'Silence, Hycombian. You should count yourself lucky, that you live. if it wasn't for Admiral Strikers intervention, none of you would live.' Yelled back an officer.

The Transport descended, as they approached the landing pads....

Bump

Anyone interested.

IC: The transports land own on the surface of the biosphere. The doors open, and the Hycombians are 'herded' into the main meeting area.

There was araised platform in an area of the room, and several troops stood on it. Shortly afterwards, Grand Admiral Stevens stood on the platform and spoke into the PA, 'Attention!'

The room fell quiet. 'This is your new home. It is not much, but at least you have relative freedom. You can live here, and your population can be sustainable. As long as you enforce a 2 children per family rule, you will never out grow this place and...'

'That's not good enough!' Yelled a member of the crowd over Stevens. 'We want more and...'

Stevens interupted back, 'Silence. Before you are forced to. You are lucky you have this..'

'Why Couldn't we have a nice planet, we can rule. Not some intersteller ice-cube!' he yelled back. This started a chant going, 'We want a home, We want a home...'

The Grand Admiral nodded to the troops, who raised their rifles and fired into the crowd. 5 of them fell down, dead. The crowd went silent.

'Now have your attention. You can have this, or death. Make your choice.'

The Grand admiral returned to his shuttle followed by the troops. Shortly afterwards, all the transports left the platform... The Hyacombians were left to their own devices...

Moleland, I have posted the link to your new starchart on the other thread.

ok

Admiral Kabal had been angered for a while-He wanted all the Hyacombe dead. But that idiotic mole had let his concience cloud his judgement. But, He had a proud sense of orders. And those orders were to stay away from Mole space until he cooled off.

OOC: Hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna spice up this Rp...

IC: Cap'n Grugger of the Imperial Pirate Vessel Deathbringer Crossed the border into mole space. Aboard were the ugliest, meanest bunch you'd ever see. The cap'n was a renegade Imperial Admiral that had been pursued for 2 decades.

His small battlegroup consisted of 1 Razor class Battlecruiser and 40 Helios light frigates.

"Cap'n, those aliens have been dumped on the 3rd planet of the Bath system."

"Excellent. Make sure to steal all their valubles and break the biosphere to remove any witnesses. Heh heh heh... We'll be doing our nation a favour and earn some money at the same time."

He pointed forth and adusted his glasses.

"Begin the attack!"

OOC: No problem! I was waiting for someone to interfere!!!!

IC: Onboard a platform near Bath 2

'Weapons fire has been detected sir! Near the biosphere!'
'What! Scramble fighters. Begin an attack on the attackers!'
'Sir, they will take 20 minutes to arrive'
'Call for Starship interference then'
'Message sent!'

OOC: Have you actualy fired on the biosphere yet?

OOC: Have you actualy fired on the biosphere yet?

You think I'd rob the place 1st? Tsk.

IC: Landing within the Biosphere, the Pirates found little resistance. They were all too miserable.

"Men, releave them of whatever possesions they have left!"

"Aye Cap'n!"

The men charged and spread out in an orgy of robbery, rape and murder.

At last some reinforcements arrived. However, you could tell that no mole honestly cared for the safety of these people... 2 frigates turned up near the biosphere.

'Captain Howgate, the ship is of TIN origin, but is not registered...'
'Pirates? Rebels?'
'Something like that..'

'Unidentified vessel. You are ordered to elave the biosphere at once, and your life shall be spared... Delay, and your lives shall be forfeit...'

"Heh heh... why should I be afraid of 2 vessels? Blow them out of the stars!"

On this command all 40 Helios light frigates turned and fired on one of the frigates all at once, almost guarenteeing their destructon, while also targeting the next.

The Frigate, although of superior class than the enemy, was no match at all for such concentrated firepower. It was instantly destroyed.

The second frigate swung about,a nd at full impulse speed attempted to run away from the enemy...

'Captain, shouldn't we attack?'
'We have no chance... call for better reinforcements!'
'But sir, nobody cares... They will say 'The mole defenders were overwhelmed, and no reinforcements were available'. Let it go sir...'
'Very well, prepare for hyperspace!'
'Yes sir!'

The frigates pursued fast, blasting at the enemy once more, to catch them before they entered hyperspace.

"Cap'n, we've begun loading up down here!"

"Good! Load up as much as you can before we leave."

He turned to his first mate.

"These moles 'aint too bright. When we're done here, we'll raid a few convoys before leavin'."

"Aye Cap'n!" Said the first mate saluting.

The frigate was stuggerling to out run the enemies.

'Sheilds holding at 45%' Reported the computer.

'Return fire... All turrets and missile launcher... If they don't back off, launch fighters as well!'
'Yes sir!'

All of a sudden, the frigates scattered, and through them flew the flagship. It charged up it's main cannon and fired....

The shots hit the frigate, penetrating the sheilds.

'Damage report!'
'I don't know!'
'What do you mean you don't know?'
'Damage report system has been damaged!'

'Launch defence fighters!'
'Yes sir!'

The 4 squadrons of fighters were launch, and immediately fired on the Flagship :-

The turbo laser fighters fired with turbo lasers
The Hyper fighters with their torpedoes
And the Missile boats attacked with Heavy space bombs.

It was a last ditch attempt...

Oh this the defensive systems of the cruiser lept into action, with lasers, gattling cannons and missiles intercepting whatever they could... Suffice to say what was left was absorbed by the shields.

OOC: Send out a distress signal before you explode, and TIN will be sent into action-we've been after this guy a while.

IC: The ship powered up it's cannons once more, targeting the bridge.

IC: There was very little chance of the Frigate surviving now. That last shot hit the Hyperdrive system...

'Hyperdrive is damaged sir!'
'What? Call for aid now!'
'Yes sir!'

Seconds after the signal was sent, the damage became critical, and the frigate was destroyed... What would respond to the distress call?

Imperial Patrol group delta continued on her patrol.

"Sir, distress call from Moleland space! they're under attack!"

"Power up jump engines. We're the only ships in range. Jump!"

The fleet lept into hyperspace towards the source of the distress call, while also informing moleland authorities of what is happening.

OOC: Have some ships turn up at the same time to meet me...

IC: Little after the last of the fighters ahd been picked off, several ships appeared from Deeper into Mole space. This fleet consisted of 6 MCD, 12 Interdictors, and 18 Frigates.

'This Admiral Cheifing of MCD Google. You ahve entered Mole space and destroyed 2 mole starships. Surrender now, and you shall be shown mercy!'

"Gahhh haa haa! Foolish moles! you wasted your time!"

Before the moleland interdictors could activate their gravity wells, the Pirate fleet activated their souped-up jump engines and disapeared. At the same time, Imperial Patrol group delta jumped in system.

"Track them!"

"They masked their signal!"

"DAMMIT! Quick, relay all data on Captain Grugger to the moleland vessels, so they know who they're dealing with. Then begin a Narrowband search of their jump signal, so we can track them!"

'Curses! Why does that always happen to us! Why do we catch nothing with Gravity well generators...'

'TIN have sent us details on this guy...'
'Who, or what, is he?'
'Some sort of Pirate called Cap'n Grugger. TIN really hate him...'
'Then he's got a new enemy...'

"Any luck yet?"

"Negative my Admiral-Another 5 minutes."

"Dammit track them now! Or we may lose them!"

----------------------------------------

"Cap'n, what now?"

"We do what we planned. Locate me a Moleland convoy and we'll shoot it up and loot it!"

OOC: Describe a convoy for me to attack.

A convoy, consisting of 5 freighters, and escorted by 2 frigates, had just left Hyperspace. It was following its flight path towards Bath 2…

OOC: You're welcome to have them flee into Shadow Territory... and pursue them. We can have a bit of confrontation :D

OOC: sounds good to me!

IC: The pirate fleet jumped out of hyperspace right on top of the convoy.

"This is Cap'n Grugger of the Imperial Pirates. I suggest you surrender all your cargo. You are outgunned and stand no chance."

The Freighters stopped and 'abandoned there cargo'. The cargo was in fact Hyper fighters and Missile boats that begin attacking the Pirates. The frigates release their starfighters as well, and also ingage. The Freighters make a run for it inot hyperspace...

"Hmm... what kind of fool do they take me for?"

The pirate fleet quickly jumped to hyperspeed, before any attack could be made. They pursued the convoy...

The Freighters were slow, but headed deeper into mole space. They stopped, and awaited their attackers...

"Cap'n! They've stopped! We have 'em!"

"Wait... somthings not right... turn us around and take us out of Moleland space via the nearest border! It's a trap! and we're clearly not welcome here any more!"

The fleet turned around... heading right into the waiting claws of the Shadows...

This was a good decision by the Captain. He entered Hyperspace before the type 2 Ion cannon mines could activate, and disable them...

OOC: Oh, I thought you'd gone... well, lets wait for TMG now...

Sorry, a bit busy on the other forum I tried to get you to join...

Sorry, a bit busy on the other forum I tried to get you to join...

OK OK! I just registered on the forum you showed me... now I have to wait for the Admin to let me in...

You have been validiated!

IC:

A Shadow Battlecrab waited in the dimensional shift between first level hyperspace and real space, effectively cloaked from real space and non-dimensional sensors, others of her kin were coming too... another two had been summoned from a nearby moon...

The sensory net extending many kilometres outside offical Shadow territory had detected this vessel, while the Shadows approved of Pirates... they also wished to make their territory even more feared to keep out unwanted intrusions. To this end they would jump these pirate vessels when it seemed best...

The pirates were allowed to cross the invisible borders of Shadow space... they would be allowed to go deeper into it... the Shadows were waiting...

OOC: Moleland has gone home for today, but I shall make my first post.

IC: The Pirates flew forward, not knowing what lied ahead.

"Steady as she goes. Any sign of enemy vessels?"

"Negative. But there are some strange elements within this sector... I'm scanning them. We'll now soon Cap'n"

"Ok then for now we keep going."

Meanwhile

Onboard MCD Google

'Sir, we have received world from the freighters taht the Pirates have fled out of Mole space, into unkown space. Shall we call off the hunt.'
'No. Pursue them. Max hyperspace at their last heading. Alert the TIN ships of where we are going.'
'But sir, only MCD have a hyperdrive fast enough to catch them!'
'So be it. Do it'

With that the MCD quickly entered hyperspace, pursueing the Pirates into Shadow space...

The Shadow vessels stalked the fleets entering their space, they were heading towards the 'Bree'Narn System, a Binary star system with absolutely brutal gravity and one of the more rebellious systems against the terrible rule enacted by the Shadows, but the Dryal in their various guises kept that from occuring.

The Shadows continued watching the fleets draw closer to the system, well inside Shadow space by now...

The Eye pulsed in their minds eye... it was time...

From seemingly nowhere three huge spidery black ships appeared... they looked as if they had materialised directly from a dark and terrible nightmare... They spewed out 120 smaller fighter-like vessels only they looked like a Taloned hand... and were like their parent vessels sheet shiny black...

Some of the crew members of the various ships began to feel the prescense overtly, the mental scream the ships emitting filling their minds with terrible images of pure death and destruction... far beyond anything any normal mind could have reasonably known...

A message spewed out awkwardly in Interlack;

You will not leave this place, you have trespassed on our domain. You will serve us or die, young ones.

OOC: TIN needs to respond first, because he has arrived first. We haven't caught up...yet.

OOC: TIN needs to respond first, because he has arrived first. We haven't caught up...yet.

OOC: Applies to the Pirates, you can arrive in a mo. :D

"What is this trickery?"

"Cap'n, it seems that we have guests."

"Give 'em a taste of our guns!"

The vessels all targeted what they guessed was the lead ship and fired.

OOC: As TMG hasn't replied yet, i'll post

IC: Now, the 6 MCDs entered the system.

'SIR, we have 2 problems.'
'What?'
'1, there is too much gravity to enter hyperspace...'
'So this is a natural Gravity well?'
'Yes, and several very large Bioships are close to the pirates.'

'WHAT! Turn us around, retreat at full impulse!'
'Yes, retreating...'

The Shadow ships screamed and attacked the ships...

The pirates weapons appeared to do nothing apart from vaguely irritate the Shadow's huge vessels...

Fighters closed with the ships spraying them with sparking quantum anti-matter... the Shadow Battlecrabs maws opened to shoot out three huge purple beams, which spat out death and destruction to all whom would dare get in their path.

The mental screaming increased filling people's mind with terror...

What were these ships...?

OOC: You read my post TMG?

The pirates weapons appeared to do nothing apart from vaguely irritate the Shadow's huge vessels...

OOC: Seeing as these pirates are destined to die anyway, i'll allow this... but remember you can't be invincible weaponsfire in a war Rp should still damage you like everyone else...

IC: "Cap'n! Our weapons are useless!"

"Heh, we just haven't found the right frequency. We still got that Bio cannon we stole?"

He was interrupted by the slicing of shadow beams, tearing through 12 of the frigates.

"Yes Cap'n!"

"USE IT!"

A hatch on the command ship opened, and a cannon emerged. It began splatting at the Shadow vessels. (These are the weapons we destroyed the Hyacombe Federation with)

--------------------------------

"Entering system now Admiral."

The entire Patrol group Delta dropped out of hyperspeed.

"Admiral, there are some form of Bioships in the sector, as well as a moleland vessel... and the pirates!"

"What the hell? Are the bioships Hyacombe?"

"No Admiral... different."

'TIN Vessels, I recommend a rapid retreat from this sector. The Bioships look too powerful for our fleets to take on by ourselves... We must retreat away fromt his natural Gravity well!'

"Agreed."

The Admiral was swift in his orders.

"Best speed out of the gravity well! As soon as we're clear, engage Hyperdrive! We don't have enough ships to stand a chance-and I don't want an incident!"

OOC: Seeing as these pirates are destined to die anyway, i'll allow this... but remember you can't be invincible weaponsfire in a war Rp should still damage you like everyone else...

OOC: Yeah, I know TIN. It was more about a show of force, also you didn't say what they were using... so I assumed low energy beam weapons...

Oh they aren't paying attention to your ships yet...

IC:

The Shadow vessels stalked through the carnage... firing their great purple beams from their maws...

A ship appeared to be readying some sort of weapon, a Battlecrab and several fighters span towards it... The thing fired a series of splatter shots at the vessels...

Two Shadow fighters appeared to dis-intergrate literally and the Battlecrab seemed to writhe in pain for a second or two... it then began to close with the pirate vessel... taking more hits from the weapon as it went... it was visibly hurting the crab with part of it's massive shell being eaten away.

When the ship got within a close enough distance several suction cupped tentacles spat out hitting the side of vessel, and began eating away at it's hull via an acidic like liquid... It seemed like a boarding party...

However, a smaller Vampire Scout Class crusier was circling behind the seemingly forgotten chasing fleets in between hyper and realspace... it was cloaked from view apart from a very feint organic signature...

...it was visibly hurting the crap with part of it's massive shell being eaten away...

OOC: Whoops, embarressing typo there!

IC: 'Looks like the infector cannon works...'
'Shame only the MCD explorer is equiped with them. How long until we are out of the well?'
'15 minutes sir.'
'Keep at it...'

"Sir, we have detected a sudden spike in biological matter."

"We shall investigate."

They almost crashed into the fleeing ships.

"Waugh! What's happening here? Jump back out!"

"Gravity well sir!"

"Gravity well?"

"Gravity well."

"Launch."

"Launch sir?"

"You heard me."

Large devices on the bottom of the communications vessel glowed briefly as the G-nullifiers began to charge. The ship maneuvred itself so its belly was facing the source of the gravity.

As gravity became nil, the well itself launched the ship where it would never regain control.

OOC: Feel free to slot whatever damage you wish in between the charge and the escape, but they escape, even if they escape almost a wreck.

"Admiral... a faint life reading... is following us!"

"What?"

"It's very faint... but it's there sir!"

"A cloaked vessel?"

"It could just be microparticles, but I don't think we should take any chances."

The Nav officer swung around.

"Admiral, we're clear of the gravity well's main pull! We can jump now!"

"Bless you. JUMP!"

The fleet began to vanish, one by one into hyperspace...

"Sir, we have detected a sudden spike in biological matter."

"We shall investigate."

They almost crashed into the fleeing ships.

"Waugh! What's happening here? Jump back out!"

"Gravity well sir!"

"Gravity well?"

"Gravity well."

"Launch."

"Launch sir?"

"You heard me."

Large devices on the bottom of the communications vessel glowed briefly as the G-nullifiers began to charge. The ship maneuvred itself so its belly was facing the source of the gravity.

As gravity became nil, the well itself launched the ship where it would never regain control.

OOC: Who the hell?

OOC: Btw, these vessels aren't going to attack you TIN nor you Mole.

And 'Eh?' at Hakurabi...

IC:

The Vampire Vessel, felt the presence of the jump.

It's quickly clipped communication revealed this...

Several Shadow vessels, which had been arriving to help in the assault diverted to following the jumping fleet in Hyperspace... They were still far behind but still detectable...

The Vampire Cruiser, materialised into Real space in front of the retreating Moleish fleet.

It didn't fire it, just repeated the same message as before.

You will not leave this place, you have trespassed on our domain. You will serve us or die, young ones.

OOC: I developed an anti-gravity starship launcher - it creates a region of 0 gravity on the underside of the ship. I explained it here: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7968924

Really didn't have time for a drawn out post. I'll flesh it out tomorrow. Just waiting for any attacks. Actually, come to think of it, ignore that post. I'll go in, try to fight, and get back out.

Actually, screw that entirely. Consider my post ignored.

'ALL STOP!' Yelled the Captain.

The six MCDs stopped, facing the huge bioship.

'What should we do, sir?'

The Admiral thought.

'Charged weapons, and target the belly of the ship. Perhaps it will be the weakest part.'
'Shall we fire?'
'Not yet, open a channel on the requency they called us on.'

'Opened!'

'Unidentified vessels. This is Admiral Cheifing of the Mole Class Destroyer Google. Our tresspass was accidental, and not malicious. we were merely pursueing the Pirates, that you ahve vanquished already. We request only to return to our space.'

The Cap'n watched in horror as the deck melted away... his crew began to flow out of the ship...

Suddenly he found himself on a panel. It was... Imperial.

"Seize him!"

he was grabbed by 2 imperial officers.

"You think we'd let you go that easily? You shall stand trial for your crimes!"

The Admiral turned to his nav officer.

"Has the rest of the fleet completed their jump?"

"Aye Admiral!"

"Then get us out of range and jump ourselves... and see what we can do to help moleland."

OOC: The Imperial Navy likes to make examples of pirates...

OOC: If you travel through Mole space to return home, you will eb stopped by moel interdictors who will demand you hand over the Pirate captain for crimes against Moleland as well. When he ahs served his sentence, who will be handed back to you, so you can punish him as well.

The Shadow Vessels stalked through the carnage like Gods of Death... they appeared slightly bruised and shaken by the bio cannon, but still they seemed omnious and looming...

They began to accelerate towards the Moleish fleet's rear...

You may return, but know this space is ours. If you want to speak with us, send us a signal and we shall come.

You may call us, The Shadows...

The other Battlecrabs phased out of Real space... into Hyperspace returning for analysis of the Bio-weapons effects and the development of some kind of counter measure for future use...

The Vampire sat there... waiting for the Moleish ships to pass.

The Admiral gave the order, '1/3 impulse forwards, when we are clear of the Gravity well, enter Hyperspace!'
'Yes sir!'

The Ships moved slowly away form the ships, as they decharged their weapons.

The second they were clear, the Hyperdrive engines charged up, and soon entered hyperspace.

OOC: Your DP relations have changed TMG

OOC: If you travel through Mole space to return home, you will eb stopped by moel interdictors who will demand you hand over the Pirate captain for crimes against Moleland as well. When he ahs served his sentence, who will be handed back to you, so you can punish him as well.
OOC: Aye.

IC: "Take us out of here. Best speed back to Imperial Territory via the quickest route."

The last vessel launched into hyperspace...

IC: The Mole ships followed the TIN ships back thorugh hyperspace, until they were stopped at an aranged point inside the bath system by some interdictors.

'TIN vessels, this Captain Gerald of the Interdictor Red Claw. We have reason to believe you are carrying a wanted criminal aboard your one of your vessels. By our law, you are required to hand him over to us, so he can be put on trial. You have permission to follow us, and watch the trial unfound... if you wish...'

"Sorry Moleland, but this man faces execution, and I have orders to follow-to bring him back to Earth by Any means nessecary. Please don't let a criminal destroy our friendship."

'This man crimes man well amount to execution back on Moleland. We have orders to bring him to justice also. If he is not executed, then you can execute him afterwards. As you in our space, he is subject to our justice. We understand your concern for this man's death. However, do you not agree, that as you are in our space, our laws apply?

"If he is executed here, then we shall surrender him. Prepare to recieve a shuttle."

'Affimitive. Hanger bay is opened'

OOC: i'll start anew thread for the trial. Look out for it

'Affimitive. Hanger bay is opened'
